Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the apparatus and method for the visible light wave range of generating scene and the vision-mix of UV wave band, such as, for observing the land corona discharge at background Scene object.
Background technology
Fig. 1 shows UVB corona absorption peak, is included in the peak that wavelength is 283nm, 297nm, 316nm, 337nm and 353nm.
Utility model content
Embodiment relates to a kind of mixing finder, and wherein, visible light wave range imaging device is in the visual field of UVB imaging device at least partially.
Some embodiments relate to mixing UV-visible light wave range finder, and comprise the method for visible light wave range and UVB imaging device.In some embodiments, (i) visible light wave range imaging device at least partially (such as, the photodetector of its array) is disposed in the visual field of UVB imaging device; And/or common optical axis shared by (ii) visible light wave range and UV wave band imaging device.
In order to produce vision-mix, the electricity output exported from each visible light wave range and UV wave band imaging device (or its derivant) is received by image uniting unit, such as, comprises the unit of electronic circuit.
Although not necessarily, but preferably, common optical axis shared by visible light wave range and UV wave band imaging device, correctly to produce vision-mix, depends on not convenient and/or insecure image processing algorithm correctly to superpose the image of visible light wave range and UV wave band.
One " value " be placed on by visible light wave range camera in the visual field of UVB imaging device is: this visible light wave range camera light from scene capable of blocking (such as can replace with beam-splitter), and the light of this scene will be used to the UV image producing scene in addition.Special challenge can be produced in the situation like this: need to adopt belt frequency spectrum light filter, only have the light of specific UV wavelength to incide on the photodetector of UVB imaging device.But the present inventor discloses now: if adopt enough little visible light wave range imaging device, photoresistance may be made to break and minimize, so that UVB imaging device still receives enough light to produce UV image that is correct and/or commercial useful scene.
By visible light wave range imaging device being placed on before UVB imaging device (instead of depend on beam-splitter or spectroscope visible ray is directed to " close to " position of UVB imaging device), may provide mixing finder, this device is more compacter and/or narrow than device of the prior art.
In a non-limiting application, mixing finder can be adopted to browse corona discharge---such as, be used for differentiating the corona discharge that sends of electronic equipment.Compacter and/or narrower mixing finder is more economical, larger application can be promoted (such as, employee by electronics corporation), and more diligent qualification (then keeping in repair), and more diligent discriminating (then keeping in repair) (defective environmental disruption damage electrical equipment).
In some embodiments, UV is only avoided arriving UVB imaging device by with lower device resistance shelves: comprise (i) visible ray section imaging device (or its part) and (ii) in visible ray section imaging device and the wired connection between other parts mixing finder---such as, and the data cube computation between UVB imaging device and the circuit of imaging combining unit.In order to make the blocking-up for the UV light from scene minimize, such method can be adopted: by wireless connections, visible ray section view data is transferred to imaging combining unit from visible ray section image-generating unit.This can make visible ray section image-generating unit can be configured on " wired connection island "---is positioned in the visual field of UVB imaging device completely, without the need to any wired connection weakening UV light.
about the embodiment of UVB/ visible ray mixing finder---such as, be configured to produce the UVB image lacking object
The present inventor discloses a kind of UVB/ visible ray mixing finder now, for observing the land corona discharge with one or more object association in scene.One or more object (such as, electronic equipment), one or more land corona discharges of sending corona in this scenario, and optional one or more non-corona object (such as, desk, chair etc.).At present disclosed optics and image treatment features make described apparatus and method be particularly useful in observe the corona discharge in " daytime/indoor " sight---namely, there is solar radiation that is relatively low but the not level of signifiance.
" land corona " electric discharge is the concept compared with sun corona discharge.
Apparatus and method disclosed in this invention are the combinations based on following feature: (i) adopts special, high-selenium corn degree optical filter, are configured to produce " not having object " UVB image; (ii) analyze this do not have the UVB image of object with by its pixel classifications for " corona discharge pixel " or " non-corona discharge pixel "; And overlapping for the mixing comprising the image of UVB and visible light wave range or coincidence pattern picture are shown to user by (iii) in a certain way, which adds the visibility of corona discharge pixel and/or decreases the visibility of non-corona discharge pixel.
The present invention relates to the imaging of the scene comprising object and one or more land corona discharge, to produce the UVB image of this scene " not having object ".For the present invention, the UVB image of this scene " not having object " only comprises the UVB image of corona discharge, comprises noise alternatively, does not have the image of any object in this scenario.Therefore, by definition, appear in the UVB image of " not having object " without any object macroscopic in actual scene.As disclosed below, the UVB image being somebody's turn to do " not having object " regulates the light filter of corona to produce by application, this light filter: (i) at least 95% or at least 97% [280nm, 700nm] spectrum, there is catch light density (such as, OD value is at least 4 or at least 6 or at least 8 or at least 10), and (ii) is at least one wavelength in the 10nm at one or more UVB corona peak, there is low optical density (such as, OD value is maximum 1).
There is no the UVB image of object and its function that can lack for observing the corona discharge in their proper environment of the contiguous object of scene itself.However, when do not have the UVB image of object (or its derivant) be placed on the visual picture of scene above time, for first, in order to observe the corona discharge of " adjacent ambient " at it, and regardless of such fact, namely these " contiguous objects " are not present in UVB image.
Because the UVB image produced is attempted to be placed on above visual picture, may produce UVB image by this way, which is that very corona is special to observe more weak corona.Producing does not have " price " of the UVB image of object be: this UVB image may not muchly for providing environmental data, because lack object in the images.What the present inventor disclosed now is a kind of mixing arrangement, and wherein, this " price " is incoherent, because the image of visible ray section produces this function now.
Because in fact UVB image does not have object, can suppose, its non-corona discharge pixel can not provide significant information---namely, do not need display background object to provide correct environment to the image of corona discharge.Because the non-corona pixel performance of UVB image goes out noise, and the object background of chi necessity (namely, need to be used for providing environment to corona discharge), may (A) be the non-corona discharge pixel of (i) corona discharge pixel or (ii) by the pixel classifications of UVB image.Can carry out by this way in the display of the mixing UVB-visible images of display device, which increases the visibility of land corona pixel and reduces the visibility of non-corona pixel.Such as, non-corona pixel can by effectively from mixing UVB-visible images " erasing ".
When light filters out by high-selenium corn degree light filter, from UVB image, effectively eliminate all objects, to produce the image not having object.But this device does not need to depend on UVB image or channel to show these objects so that " visible environmental " is given to corona discharge---replace ground, visible ray section channel provides that this is functional.Correctly show " corona discharge environment " by depending on visible ray channel, the special light filter of high-selenium corn degree can be applied, this light filter can eliminate object from UVB image, correctly to observe " weak " corona discharge, to provide the more high sensitivity for corona.

According to second embodiment, the blind light filter of light meets the characteristic of following two aspects:
I. at least one wavelength in scope [220nm, 280nm], the optical density OD of light filter 410 is maximum 1 or maximum 0.75 or maximum 0.5 or maximum 0.25 or maximum 0.1.
Ii. the value being at least x, x at the mean value of the min [OD (λ), 10] of scope [280nm, 700nm] is at least 4 or at least 5 or at least 5.5 or at least 6 or at least 7 or at least 8 or at least 9 or at least 10.

Such as, as discussed below, what light filter 410 had is at least 4 in the average optical of [290nm, 700nm] spectrum.
Although but be not restriction, in certain embodiments, the existence of the light filter 410 in image-generating unit 400 means: the UV image formed by lens 420 and imageing sensor 430 does not have object---namely, in scene 200, all images do not have object.Such as, can by adopting day blind light filter or realized by the one or more corona peaks adopting UVB light filter to forward in UVB spectrum.
Replace the UV image having scenario objects, for the UV image of " not having object ", this UV image only comprises corona image 230 and possible noise.In the hypothesis lacking light filter 410, the image produced by image-generating unit 400 in fact will be the image of the object 210,220 of scene.For the specific examples of UVB, those skilled in the art can understand the discussed physical characteristics of UVB corona peak tunable filter 410 about producing the light filter not having object below see Figure 11 A-11E.Such as, as discussed below, light filter 410 can have [290nm, 700nm] spectrally at least 4 average optical.
With reference now to Fig. 5-12, explain the specific embodiment relating to " the UV image not having object ".Although this reality is produced (such as, producing at image-generating unit 400), this is optional.Meanwhile, in certain embodiments, UV image-generating unit 400 is a kind of UV image-generating units 400, although for all embodiments, this is not restriction.
Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram not having the UVB image of object of the scene 200 of the Fig. 2 produced by UVB image-generating unit 400.Therefore, in the UVB image of object, object 210A-210E is not had, 220A not having shown in Fig. 5.But, in this UVB image, there is halation 230A discharge.
On the contrary, Fig. 6 shows the schematic diagram of the visible ray section image of the scene 200 of the Fig. 2 produced by visible ray section image-generating unit 500.
Also show in figure 3: (i) can through the lens 420 of UVB light; (ii) imageing sensor 430 (such as, CMOS or CCD or comprise other suitable technology arbitrarily) of UVB sensitivity; (iii) can through the lens 520 of visible ray; And (iv) visible ray section imageing sensor 530 (such as, CMOS or CCD or comprise other suitable technology arbitrarily).
Once not have the UVB image (see Fig. 5) of object to be synthesized by image composing unit 560 with visible ray section image (see Fig. 6), this two objects and corona can be observed on display unit 580.This makes to observe corona discharge in the proper background of adjacent object 210,220---such as, see Fig. 7.
In order to obtain the result of Fig. 7, UVB-visible ray section mixing finder 100 disclosed by the invention applies the combination of following characteristics: the wavelength dependence feature (see below according to the discussion of Figure 11 A-11E) of (i) UVB light filter 410; And (ii) is the corona special image process 460 of corona discharge pixel or non-corona discharge pixel 450 based on the pixel classifications of the UVB image by not having object.
This image procossing will be discussed see Fig. 8-10.Especially, Fig. 8 to show by image-generating unit 400 at four time points---the example not having the image of object of the scene 200 that t1, t2, t3 and t4 produce.Center facing to each image is corona image.Obviously, in any four images without any the image of object.But, be additional to the image of corona, can noise in the UVB image not having object---see ash gray point.Although the given shape of corona discharge can not change in time and changing, its position and overall shape are relative constancy, for noise.On the contrary, the position of noise spot obviously changes in time.
With further reference to Fig. 8, should be noted, because the optical characteristics of light filter 410, can suppose: non-corona discharge pixel is actually noise, instead of " object pixel " of object 210,220, these pixels must be kept to provide " image background " of the vision-mix shown by unit 280 (for example, see Fig. 7).Not needing to keep these non-corona images---the visible ray section image produced by image-generating unit 500 provides this background information.
Therefore, can realize: each pixel classifications is corona discharge pixel or non-corona discharge pixel by (i); And (ii) non-corona discharge pixel.Such as, classification can be performed by sorter 450.Graphics processing unit 460 can change the content of the UVB image not having object, so that shows vision-mix once by unit 580, and (i) improves the visibility of corona discharge pixel; And/or (ii) reduces the visibility of non-corona pixel.
Show the schematic diagram of the result of a kind of like this corona discharge classification based on UVB imaging processing program in fig .9, wherein, eliminate " noise pixel ", or change into and mix to make their visibility to reduce with their surrounding pixel.Corona image in fig .9 relates to the average shape of some kinds in the time interval [t1, t4].
Comparison diagram 8 and Fig. 9, obviously, the non-corona discharge pixel of grey is sightless in fig .9, compared to Fig. 8---the pixel in this example, being categorized as " non-corona discharge pixel " can have " empty data " so that invisible in mixed pixel.Alternatively, or in addition, corona discharge pixel can be made to brighten.In another embodiment, the color of corona discharge pixel can be changed to make them more visible in vision-mix.In another embodiment, a border can be drawn to make them more visible in vision-mix around corona discharge pixel.These measurements can be carried out according to the result of pixel classifications.
Figure 10 shows an embodiment of the UVB pixel classifications program according to land corona discharge.In this non-limiting example, image from image-generating unit 400 is first applied to limit algorithm 810 according to Limiting Level, Limiting Level is (namely, being therefore noise) selected according to the experimental data about the image being land corona discharge.The pixel of the first kind is brighter than Equations of The Second Kind pixel---and the pixel of the first kind is made into brighter, and the pixel of Equations of The Second Kind is made into darker.Select to distinguish the first kind and Equations of The Second Kind (such as, based on the image of the image from land corona discharge or the experimental data of scene) by the judgement of standard, limit algorithm 810 distinguishes corona discharge pixel and non-corona discharge pixel effectively.
Similarly, the brightness of pixel or shape can change in time, the pixel of the pattern that time integral light filter can be determined at Matching Experiment and be not test the pattern determined pixel between select---this is algorithm 820.
Similarly, if pixel be corona discharge pixel or be not neighbours from it pixel---such as adopt density filter 830, this may determine.
In certain embodiments, for determining that the pixel provided is that the standard of land corona pixel or non-corona discharge pixel can adjust according to the ambient level of the non-corona discharge UVB radiation in scene 200.Such as, on bright daytime, the pixel provided more is similar to noise than corona discharge, and more strict standard can be adopted to be what discharge to indicate pixel.Similarly, at noon, can be such example, compared to morning or dusk.In certain embodiments, pixel classifications (thus image procossing) can change the estimation of the ambient level of the UVB radiation in response to non-corona discharge.Such as, at 8 a.m., first limit can be adopted, at noon, can automatically regulate.
The non-corona discharge UVB radiation level of surrounding environment does not have the UVB image of object by analysis yet and determines---such as, according to density algorithm.
Figure 11 A-11E shows for the example of UVB corona peak tunable filter 410 in UVB scope internal optical density.Some or all light filters shown in Figure 11 A-11E can have such characteristic: be at least 4 or at least 6 or at least 8 or at least 10 at the mean value of the min [OD (λ), 10] of [280nm, 700nm] scope.For any wavelength, the value of function min [OD (λ), 10] is the minimum value of (i) light filter between the actual OD value and (ii) numerical value 10 of wavelength X.
Figure 12 shows the program performed by the device shown in Fig. 4 A, and this program comprises step S101, S105, S109, S110, S111, S112, S115, S181, S185, S151 and S161.
